You may find Constructor Theory interesting. An attempt to express physical laws solely in terms of possible and impossible transformations. “These include providing a theory of information underlying classical and quantum information; generalising the theory of computation to include all physical transformations; unifying formal statements of conservation laws with the stronger operational ones (such as the ruling-out of perpetual motion machines); expressing the principles of testability and of the computability of nature (currently deemed methodological and metaphysical respectively) as laws of physics; allowing exact statements of emergent laws (such as the second law of thermodynamics); and expressing certain apparently anthropocentric attributes such as knowledge in physical terms.” https://arxiv.org/abs/1210.7439 https://arxiv.org/abs/1210.7439
